SYNOPSIS

Explore the Active Accessibility desktop and hierarchy of accessible objects.

aadigger starts off at the Desktop. It lists the "children" of the Desktop object.

Pick a "child" by number (and press Enter) to "drill down" and get a list of its children.

DESCRIPTION

You can start exploring an Accessible Object in three ways:

1. Starting at the Desktop, pick children by number until you get there.

2. Use the motiondetector command.

3. Use the followmouse command.

You can manipulate your view of the child objects:

1. Use invisible to include invisible objects in the list.

2. Use tree to see not just the immediate children, but the whole hierarchy.

3. Use outline to see the tree, excluding menu- and outline-items.

You can get help composing scripts that use Active Accessibility.

1. Note down the role, title and hierarchical relationship of the relevant AOs and compose your own calls to dig (etc.) manually.

2. Use the digback command and aadigger will draft a dig path for you. You must tell it how many levels of dig-path to generate, and which AO to wind up at. The digback command only works with AOs that have an accurate get_accParent.
